The Rinnai RX199iN Sensei RX is a condensing tankless water heater for residential use. It heats water only when you need it, so the supply of hot water doesn't run out. It has a maximum flow rate of 11 gallons per minute and a heat output of 199,000 BTU.
It runs on natural gas or propane, and its Smart Sense gas valve adjusts to either fuel, so no gas conversion kit is required. The unit is direct vent, mounts on a wall and is made for indoor installation. Outdoor installation is possible with the Rinnai outdoor vent cap accessory (RXOVC).
The integrated controller is standard. The MC-601 controller is optional. Scheduled recirculation uses the MC-195T-US or the RWM200 Wireless Module. The unit is Wi-Fi ready and is Smart-Circ capable once a pump or pump accessory kit is installed.
